I have a fruity purple beer. Fruity purple beer doesn't make all things better, but at least it makes me care a little less.
Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay beer!
I am proud of myself. I went to the pet store and the grocery store, and only bought what I went in for. No Halloween candy, no costume for Frankie, no "great deals."
Erin! Your package is packaged. It will go in the mail tomorrow.
What's a good site for spooky Halloween crafts from household stuff? I want decorations but don't want to buy any.
What the huh, Hil? Two random screw-ups in one semester? That's no fair.

As unlikely as it seems, Martha Stewart [link]
Yeah, I looked through her stuff. Still looking. Wishing I hadn't gotten rid of Halloween stuff when I moved.
This is cool, though not from stuff on hand (NPI). [link] And her version could use some distressing.
Ooo, fun spooky jewelry. Jilli - cameos! [link]
This bat wreath is cute... [link]
Working my way through these links. [link]
Good idea for old fishnets... [link]
I probably need to gather all the random crap I have (tp rolls, milk jugs, etc) and just start playing around.
Raq, amych, Suzi, yeah -- I won't lie, there are pros and cons to freelancing, and it is a hell of a lot of work to get started and get gigs, but it is absolutely the right choice for certain people.
But you really have to be a self-starter and learn how to promo yourself while walking (and sometimes tripping over) the fine line of "promo self" and "being a jackhole."
There's this chick on Twitter -- no one we know -- who had pimped her ebook 8 times a day for the past week! Same tweet every damn time.
I'm all "For sweet fuck's sake, even if it is the Best Novel I Would Ever Read, I will not ever read it because you are annoying me so much."
I spent the evening at a local freelancer's event with a good girlfriend of mine, and met some cool people, and then went home with my friend and we sat on the porch and gabbed for a couple of hours. And then walking out, there were two deer, a mama and a baby, just casually walking down the sidewalk. Didn't startle; were just ambling nonchalantly down the sidewalk in the middle of Kansas City! It was so cool!
And I NEEDED a night away from the house and the computer and garage sale prep. It was lovely.
smonster, can't wait to see your package! Uh...wait a minute...

Heh heh. Heh heh heh.
Hil - this is ridiculous. It's a good thing booze is vegan.
Hil, I'm glad you have fruity beer to help you deal with all these screw ups where you work.
We're in Bath, which is lovely as usual. We went to the Jane Austen museum today and then took a bus around the city. The friends we're staying with are having a baby! It was a pleasant surprise to find out when we got here; although if I knew ahead of time I wouldn't have brought a bottle of wine as a gift.
sj - glad you're having fun! but for a pregnant lady, perhaps chocolate ....
